Leopard Annoyances #1

▁ oct 30 2007

Listing what annoys me about Leopard so far:

  • Cmd-Tab. When you are in cmd-tab mode and you head all the way to one side, and then try and go one further, it’s stuck. This didn’t happen in Tiger.
  • Sending mail through SSL servers without a certified certificate. Mail.app 3 just won’t allow you to do this. This is annoying like hell. Didn’t happen in Tiger either.
  • Dashboard Dictionary. When you’re in the input-field and you hit Escape, this doesn’t clear it so you can write a new word. Worked in Tiger. Well, let’s go through what major Tiger annoyances they’ve fixed since the last version:
  • Burning a disc. The disc title defaults to “Untitled CD/DVD”, and if you’d Tab to that input field, it’d only focus the “ntitled CD/DVD” part, leaving the uppercased ‘U’ intact. That’s fixed.

There was one other thing, but I’ve forgotten by now.

I’ll post more as I discover them.

Apple FAILS, or is it still worth the upgrade?

I’d say all the nicities they’ve added are worth the upgrade. I’m just pointing out a few things that annoy me. The rest is good :)

  1. Its work fine here on a upgraded machine.
  2. certificates are cheep. Look on servertastic.com
  3. The dictionary are also included directly in spotlight.

Lauer: 1. This is an upgraded machine. Doesn’t work on 2 other machines with a fresh install either. 2. Yep, but when you’re not in control of the server you can’t do much about it. 3. Yes, that’s a nice thing, but I’ve gotten used to the dashboard widget and there’s no reason to break a feature I used to make good use of. That being said, these are not really showstoppers, just minor annoyances I notice along the way and jot down in this entry ;)
